Elis James is such a cautious little boy that this year will be the first solo offering from this cheeky and irreverent bilingual Welsh comic. Appearing as part of the Five Pound Fringe line up, James represents serious value for money.

Having enjoyed the comfort of a sheltered rural upbringing his show recounts his attempts to shed his ‘better not’ attitude and replace it with the manly aroma of rebellion and adventure. Find out if he succeeded or if the smell of chicken still lingers on.

He may not have your back in a fight, don’t ask him to try the escargot, and if you're proposing a charity parachute jump you have the wrong man. But for a great hour of spontaneous, light-hearted comedy banter, James should be at the top of your list.
